Main Street Theater welcomes Sloane Teagle as its new Artistic Inclusion and Community Engagement Director. “Main Street Theater is committed to providing an equitable, diverse, inclusive, and accessible space for our artists, audience, and staff. We are thrilled to have Sloane on board to help guide our efforts,” says Main Street Theater Founding Artistic Director Rebecca Greene Udden.

“I am excited to deepen my relationship with Main Street and help the theater grow,” remarks Ms. Teagle. “Sloane is thoughtful, mindful, intelligent, and compassionate,” offers Ms. Udden. “She brings our staff the balanced insight we seek as we move forward as an organization.”

“This last year has been very tender for me,” Ms. Teagle shares, reflecting on the murder of George Floyd and the racial injustice with which the U.S. is reckoning. “I’m glad that the theater field is taking steps to become more equitable, and I am honored to lead the way at Main Street.”
